For years, we’ve been hearing that there is a “consensus” in the medical community in favour of what they call “gender-affirming care”, which is their misleading term for the barbaric practice of surgical mutilation and chemical poisoning of physically healthy children who are confused about their identity.
At last, the awful lie of that “consensus” has been exposed as nothing more than a fraud thanks to the work of Leor Sapir, a fellow with the non-profit Manhattan Institute.
Sapir proved that the promoted “consensus” was a sham by doing what any honest journalist could have done long ago: he asked the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) what they thought of it.
The ASPS, which represents more than 11.000 members, and 90% of plastic surgeons in Canada and the U.S., replied that it has “not endorsed any organization’s practice recommendations for the treatments of adolescents with gender dysphoria”, and that it acknowledges that “there is considerable uncertainty as to the long-term efficacy for the use of chest and genital surgical interventions for the treatment of adolescents with gender dysphoria”.
In other words, the lie that there is a consensus among medical organizations on “gender-affirming care” for minors, which has been repeated by members of the medical and political establishment right up to and including the Biden administration, has been shattered by the the ASPS’s truthful answer to Sapir’s inquiry.
“It’s a real problem when colleagues are afraid to debate any medical treatment or procedure, and especially when minors are the patients.”
Dr. Sheila Nazarian, Plastic Surgeon
The “consensus” they’ve been lying about was simply a case of a small group of radical, ideologically-driven “experts” who have captured the narrative and signaled that questions are irrelevant because everyone agrees, and that anyone who has doubts had better stay quiet or risk dire professional consequences.
It was a social contagion among the educated, professional establishment that was as real as the one sweeping through the ranks of young people encouraged to experience gender confusion, and even to seek out life-destroying “treatments” while still minors.
It has been a horribly successful strategy, and wreaked havoc. Until now.
This admission that there is no consensus is a game changer, and comes on the heels of other signs that the “gender affirmation” medical industry is crumbling.
The Cass report to the National Health Service in England found that there was “no good evidence” to justify “interventions” having to do with gender identity.
The American College of Pediatricians called on medical organizations to “stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex”.
This ASPS statement is the most damning yet. The deception of medical consensus has been demolished because it was built on hideous lies.
Now, we must follow through and ensure the destruction of the “gender affirmation” industry, which was built on that lie, and which has already destroyed so many lives.
